Replenishing your computer paper account

Students are responsible for purchasing their paper for the printers in HH-3030/3056, C-2003/2004, and EN-2036. Your computer account includes a paper account and the computer system automatically deducts pages from your paper account as you use it. To check the balance in your paper account, use the acinfo command.

To add paper to your paper account, first ensure you have funds on your Student SmartCard. You can add money to your card at the card value centers located in the QEII Library, HSC Library, and the Education Building. Then you can use a card reader in one of HH-3030, C-2004, or EN-2036 to transfer money from your card to your paper account.

The cost is five cents per page. There is no minimum purchase necessary.

In the event that something goes wrong, DO NOT PULL THE CARD OUT OF THE READER. Just leave the card in, and get one of the computer support people (Nolan White: EN-1057, Mike Rendell: EN-1059, Michael Rayment: EN-1016, Craig Squires: HH-2003) to help you.

The same procedure can be done in T-10 (next to the TSC).
